Matembe doesn’t deserve this. No woman deserves this. Nobody deserves this actually 💔💔💔

Besigye.
Matembe.
Kalyegira.
Lukwago.
Hundreds more.
Thousands more.

We're back in the nightmare they claim they released us from.

This is NOT okay.

[David Lewis Rubongoya @DavidLRubongoya]

This was Hon. Miria Matembe pleading with the Magistrate to allow her to go for treatment for her back. "At least Amin used to shoot you, po! But this kind of breaking......." She said.

For context, this senior citizen was one of the eminent Ugandans who traversed this country seeking views on the 1995 Constitution! As I saw her crying out, I couldn't help but imagine what was going on in her mind. Mulimba mutufuze bubi nnyo!

Mira Matembe, a Munyankole has been charged with promoting hostility, hatred and ill will against Banyankole. Aren’t we just a special country?

[Nobert Elber Ariho @NobertElber]

Maama Miria Matembe has been brought to court. She appears to be very weak.
More prayers for her.

[Wilfred Businge @MrBusinge]

At almost 73 years of age, Miria Matembe had never been arrested. She survived Amin and Obote.

Today, she finds herself in Luzira prison, having been kidnapped on Monday, held incommunicado, arraigned in court today and remanded until tomorrow for hearing of her bail application.

These are abnormal times.

"Why would a media house report such. You think other countries don't arrest journalists? Do you see Rwanda reporting such? We need to write positive stories about our country
